Connecting TGVs is hard, but I’ve done it before from Lausanne to Nantes, through different train stations in Paris no less. Was worth it, since I would have needed a 30-40 minute train trip to Geneva anyways.
Airports are usually outside of the city, train stations are usually inside the city, that is a big deal worth a couple of hours. Geneva airport is a bit more convenient, but if you are coming from Lausanne, it’s still an hour.
But still, a 45 minute flight versus 4 hours with a connection on a train at a similar cost..
